The might be some issues w/volume of the type 80's collected. Otherwise it 
works fine.

While you're waiting  for that RFE to be accepted (?), please consider RACF 
command

altdsd <whatever dsn profile>  audit(all(READ))  for ALL your dataset profiles 
except the catalogs where you can perhaps use audit(all(ALTER)) for them.

This will ensure that all and every type of access attempts are logged. Of 
course, you will have to weed out the non proc dsn from your RACF reports to 
see what you want.

You wrote in that RFE:

"Organizations of long standing often have thousands of cataloged procedures. 
Often a large percentage of these are obsolete or never used (FORTRAN 
Code-and-Go procedures, anyone?) "

Thousands? Wow! That is four-letter word bad.

Just migrate them and see when they're recalled by HSM upon usage. Put them in 
WARNING or (better) clear out the access list in RACF and see who holws at you 
at 03:00.

You can use CSI to search for anciend and unused procs, but I agree in all, a 
nice SMF record would be handy dandy.

Of course JCLLIB is very tricky to check and track. Perhaps a JES2 exit can 
help you to eliminate all JCLLIB statement, but ...
